LBE Hunt and Reppa Ton concluded their East Coast Flesh & Blood Tour on Friday night at The Black Iris Social Club in Richmond, Virginia, delivering more than three hours of unrelenting independent Hip Hop that many in attendance described as “the movie of the year.”
Though billed as the tour’s final chapter, “The Last Dance” was not an ending so much as a reflection of the rare chemistry between its two headliners. Their partnership, defined by contrast and complement formed the backbone of the tour’s identity.
“I just remember growing up hearing ‘Flesh and Blood’ and correlating it with family,” Hunt said. “The whole part of the tour was to make people feel like family. The warmness of the sound, even the word Remedies, I wanted to continue with that vibe.”
The tour traveled through Baltimore, Salem, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C. and Brooklyn before returning home to Richmond, a homecoming that carried both symbolic and cultural weight. Along the way, fans were introduced to an expansive lineup of supporting artists, including Richmond’s Zuri; Hampton’s JB Lynch and others across the Mid-Atlantic.
The night opened with classic Awol banter, before introducing openers like Malclm., ZayHova, and Sneeze, who all hail from Virginia; Jamal J. from Maryland; Ja’King the Divine & Javi Darko from New York; and Davon and 6KYae representing Washington, D.C.
Early on, the crowd seemed reserved, reflecting a familiar comment from out of town guests. But the room shifted once duo Ja’King the Divine & Javi Darko delivered a set of raw New York grit, channelling the sound of Mobb Deep and the communal tenacity of early Wu-Tang. Other openers, like Jamal J. offered a refreshing poetic & free form style of lyricism that invited stillness and attention.
The night exuded with the fabric of Hip Hop.
From there, Reppa Ton kicked off the main part of the night with a vengeance, and without warning. Launching into “Chimborazo”, “King Again” with T.R.I.G, and “Jump,” the crowd sang and rapped every word, dapping up Rep, while he controlled the stage and energy.
Hunt’s set settled us — the bright lights softened, and the deep red hues and shadows prevailed. Drawing from Keep The Art Sacred and his latest release, Remedies, his set navigated themes of endurance, reflection and resolve.
What unfolded at The Black Iris felt organic in the truest sense: artists and audience moving together, building culture in real time. The last leg of the Flesh and Blood tour reinforces that Hip Hop is truly in the best state it’s ever been in, and that’s Virginia.
